   Fable is great

   Expensive, and the pricing model changed, but it just works. I hope more competitors release equally good quality to have a more fair pricing model in the longrun.

   More like cloud AI - Its good

   So I’ve been playing around with Claude for a bit, and here’s the vibe:

   Honestly, it feels way more chill than a lot of other AI tools. It’s super polite, doesn’t jump into assumptions too fast, and gives responses that are easy to read like talking to a thoughtful friend rather than someone in a hurry. It’s surprisingly good at breaking down complex stuff into simple terms without sounding condescending, which I really appreciate.

   In terms of creativity, Claude does pretty well — whether I ask for a poem, a short story, or help brainstorming ideas, it doesn’t just give cookie-cutter replies. There’s a bit of personality there, like it tries to make things interesting rather than just factual.

   On the downside? Sometimes it plays it a bit too safe. If you push for a bold opinion or a more adventurous answer, it’ll often stay in the middle-of-the-road lane. And for niche topics, it’s not always as sharp as some other models unless you give super clear instructions.

   Also, it’s fast no long pauses or overcomplicated explanations which makes it nice for quick back-and-forth.

   👍 Pros:    Cheap

   👎 Cons:    Reports

   Claude Sonnet 3.5 is amazing for coding! I used to use the chat interface and copy-paste, but now I use aider.chat. Aider works in a git repo and forces Claude to only make the changes you requested. Changes are easy to revert.

   A downside: Code is not always what I want. I try to make it do work in small chunks and this helps. Excels at writing boilerplate-y code that tends to be a little different on different websites.

   Two helpful styles of prompts:

   1. "Make this better", "Make it look better", etc. - Will optimize code, make it DRY, improve HTML/CSS styling in templates, and more.
   2. "What are my options?" - Helpful if you're not an expert in something or need to brainstorm.

   Using it for Python/Django/HTMX/AlpineJS. Django templates mixed with JS are no problem.

   👍 Pros:    Optimizes and improves code, layouts, and more|Reduces boilerplate

   👎 Cons:    Code is not always great|Can be hard to keep track of things when you're moving so fast

  It's surely both. Look at the newest questions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions?tab=Newest Most questions have negative karma.
